some notes regarding sound and dosemu

[Dave Phillips <dlphilp@bright.net>]

Greetings:

  The other day I read some posts on this list regarding failures to get 
sound and music working for certain MS-DOS games. I'd like to know what 
some of the major offenders are, I'd be willing to test them here in my 
studio. I have complete MIDI I/O now with dosemu, and I've begun to test 
its audio support as well. Yesterday I tried running the following 
programs, with the results indicated:

    Quake   sound was good, but no music (I'm missing the MSCDEX file)
    Paul's Sound Designer 2.2   very good audio output
    Well-tempered Fractal   program runs but no sound yet

  I've been running these programs as well:

    Sequencer Plus Gold   MIDI sequencer, works perfectly
    Drummer   MIDI rhythm programmer, works well, but has mouse problems 
(the mouse works but doesn't scale to window size)
    Sound Globs   boots but doesn't work (no sound)
    M/pc   boots, but I haven't figured out how to get a mouse working 
in it (and it really needs the mouse)

As you can see, my interest has been primarily in the MIDI side of 
things. I'm interested in testing some more games, but I need some 
recommendations. Anyone ?

Best,
